    I went videotaping trains from Wood River to Kearney along the Union Pacific's Kearney Subdivision. I ended up with 20 Union Pacific trains. I could have gotten more in the late afternoon. But it rained from Kearney to West of Wood River. While it not rained, i did a food review. Got a UP 2001 the olympic torch locomotive. A few times during the day, i got 7 locomotives including the SD60 unit at Gibbon Junction.

BNSF with CSX, Union Pacific trains racing & passing from Juanita to Ald...



       I started with seeing the train in Hastings and drove on a gravel road to Juanita. After that, i followed the train to Kenesaw in which i didn't make it in time. After that, I drove back to Hastings to catch a grain train. All CSX behind BNSF along the Hastings Subdivision. There are 3 trains i videotaped along the Hastings Subdivision.

     After that, I got me something to eat at Burger King to do a food review on the extra long philly cheeseburger and did the food review near Hayland along the Union Pacific's Marysville Subdivision. After that, i videotaped Union Pacific trains from Gibbon to Alda with 2 more food reviews in between trains.

Union Pacific Action from Kearney to Gibbon,NE 3 20 2016

Here is my video link seen here:https://youtu.be/juSnEynYBQA

       Here is my story, I decided to go do some railfanning around the Kearney area along the Union Pacific's Kearney Subdivision main line. I tried to catch the first grain train from Gibbon to Kearney on US 30. The train was gone as i had to slow down for the city of Kearney. I went thru Kearney to 30th Ave. So i turned left to the overpass. Before i went to the overpass, i turned right to the gravel road to make a right turn. I drove around and see some sandhill cranes near the Union Pacific tracks. I stayed on gravel to Odessa on US 30 and went back the way i came. 

     Until i see the manifest train headed for Kearney. The train stopped in Kearney and switched going into Kearney. Around 12:30 in the afternoon, i got my food in which before i did a couple food reviews including the newest sub at subway. I also saw a radio personally in Gibbon. We didn't talk at all. I went blank on that. I was like in my own mind "Who is this person?"  He saw my tripod and my camcorder in the car. After all that, i went to Gibbon Junction and filmed trains there for about 2 hours. The Marysville Sub was busy and also ended up with the engineer saying to me "Hey,Brad" twice. I was stoned on what happened in my own mind. One by a radio personally, & two by an engineer.  On the results, i filmed 21 trains and i had a great time filming trains.
